I'm looking for some book ideas for a book/s on: a scientific temper/ worldview; on critical thinking; or just on science. Something fun, for a 10-year-old.
Ideally what I'd be looking for is something like Dawkins's The Magic of Reality. Except I think that book's more suitable for someone who's a bit older. Not because a 10-year-old wouldn't understand it, they would; but I kind of think a 10-year-old might find that kind of thing dry, boring, not fun. At least most 10-year-olds. Around 12 I think is when that book should be read --- and of course, for someone who hasn't read it, any age at all is fine.
So anyway, I was looking for book ideas of that kind. For a 10-year-old. On what a scientific worldview entails, and/or on critical thinking. And a fun book.
----------
And if all of that is too much to ask for --- as it well may be --- then I'd settle simply on a fun book on science (for said 10-year-old).
Of course, science books for kids, there's lots and lots of those, obviously. But what I was looking for would be something ...well, fun, you know, something they'd actually enjoy, something that might get a child that is as yet not terribly interested in science, actually hooked on to science, something that might get them to see science as fun, something like that.
----------
So if you're aware of any such good books that answer to any one of those three descriptions/subjects, your recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks!
